It's system specific.

Have a look at other startup scripts which are placed in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d, they are started with "start" as argument.

[~] edwin@k7>less /usr/local/etc/rc.d/snmpd.sh 
#!/bin/sh

if ! PREFIX=$(expr $0 : "\(/.*\)/etc/rc\.d/$(basename $0)\$"); then
    echo "$0: Cannot determine the PREFIX" >&2
    exit 1
fi

case "$1" in
start)
        [ -x ${PREFIX}/sbin/snmpd ] && ${PREFIX}/sbin/snmpd && echo -n ' snmpd'
        ;;
stop)
        killall snmpd && echo -n ' snmpd'
        ;;
*)
        echo "Usage: `basename $0` {start|stop}" >&2
        ;;
esac

exit 0


Your openftpd.sh should do something similair.
